>> o'donnell: good evening to our viewers in the west. thank you for joining us tonight. with the death toll from coronavirus closing in on 150,000 americans, it now appears the outbreak is growing so rapidly nationwide, nearly half of all states are in what the white house calls the red zone. in a new report given to governors this week, but not released publicly, the president's coronavirus task force says the infection rate in 21 states is so high that they should begin reimposing restrictions. this is even as the president is publicly calling on governors to reopen. now, nowhere is that more obvious than in florida where tonight the state has reached its highest single-day death toll since the crisis began. and in yet more ominous evidence that the pandemic shows no sign of slowing down, dr. deborah birx, the administration's coronavirus coordinator, says limit indoor dining and shut down bar service. tonight, major league baseball is shutting down, too, at least temporarily. the league says the philadelphia

phillys and miami marlins will postpone their games for several days after four more players for the marlins tested positive today. at a press briefing late today, president trump defended a video he retweeted, featuring a doctor making inaccurate statements, saying masks don't work and there's a cure for the virus. both are not true. that's why the country's biggest social media companies call the video false and removed it from their platforms. there's a lot of reporting to get to tonight, and our team of correspondents is standing by to cover it all. cbs' manuel bojorquez is going to lead off our coverage tonight from miami. god evening, manny. >> reporter: good evening, norah. today, florida broke its record for covid-19 deaths reported in a single day: 186 residents.e et hospitalizations may be leveling off, but the virus continues to disrupt lives here and across the country. nearly half of the states are now part of the government's so-

called red zone due to rising cases, including missouri, north dakota, and wisconsin. >> we can see the virus moving north. >> reporter: today, dr. deborah birx said hot spots threaten regions where cases are controlled. >> what we're seeing across the south right now is both rural infections as well as small metros and major metros simultaneously. >> reporter: this week, dr. birx was in five states where cases are on the rise and recommended that some states close bars and limit capacity. kentucky ordered all bars to close at 5:00 p.m., but the governor of tennessee refused to close bars. dr. birx also recommended that multigenerational families who live together wear masks inside their homes. the outbreak among the miami marlins has reportedly grown to as many as 17 players and staff, putting their season on p rmp this week will be subjected to a slew of testing, just to get practices going.

quarantine list, now up to 34. as the virus' painful march continues, claiming the life ofi centerti >> dr. costa is a hero. he was doing incredible work saving lives for many years, including from the coronavirus. >> reporter: we have also learned that texas has changed the way it tracks coronavirus deaths, and that has revealed more than 600 additional victims of the virus there. one state official joined dr. birx today in recommending people who live in multigenerational homes wear a mask, even inside the house. norah. >> o'donnell: new recommendations, manny, thank you. and today, in an extraordinary move, the three most powerful social media companies effectively censored videos shared by president trump because it promoted false and misleading claims about covid- 19. facebook, twitter, and youtube have labeled false information inthe past. this time, they deleted the

video, but not before it was seen on facebook at least 14 million times. here's cbs' ben tracy. >> reporter: in a dramatic move, twitter, facebook, and youtube rebuked the president and his son donald trump jr., accusing them of peddling false information about the virus. twitter removed the president's retweets of several versions of this video. >> we're america's front-line doctors. >> reporter: in which a group of doctors make several patently false claims, including that there's a cure for the virus and nothing needs to be shut down, all at odds with the recommendations of the president's own health experts. >> you don't need masks. there is a cure. >> i think they're very respected doctors. there was a woman who was spectacular in her statements about it, that she's had tremendous success with it, and >> and she made the news saying that doctors made d.n.a. from aliens -- >> maybe assumed, maybe it is

not. i thought her voice was an important voice, but i know nothing about that. >> reporter: the video promotes hydroxychloroquine, the drug the president has touted as a potential treatment. the administration's own f.d.a. says it does not treat covid and can have harmful side effects. >> many doctors think it's extremely good, and some people don't. some people, i think, it's become very political. i happen to believe in it. >> reporter: social media platforms removed the video with facebook saying it contains false information about cures and treatments for covid-19, a violation of its policies. twitter temporarily suspended donald trump jr.'s account for sharing the same video. and president trump is also once again criticizing dr. anthony fauci. he retweeted a post that accuses dr. fauci of misleading the american people. asked about that tonight here at the white house, the president claims he still has a good relationship with the doctor. norah. >> o'donnell: all right, ben tracy at the white house, thank you.
